Does anyone know where I can find the installation music or intro video that comes when you start the windows XP installer?

Thanks!

Been so long since I installed I don't remember what the music was but do a search on your system drive for music and video there is a file called title.wma that may be what you are looking for. On my system it is at:
%systemroot%\system32\oobe\images

Also you can take the windows tour by starting
%systemroot%\system32\tourstart.exe from Start > run

The files for the tour are in
Text only touris here:
%systemroot%\help\tours\htmltourmultimedia tour is here:
%systemroot%\help\tours\mmtour

%systemroot% refers to your windows installation directory e.g. C:\Windows.

Sweet!

You were right on the money!
Ya see Im making a promo (not for resale just for an inhouse tour) is there anyway I can set it up so that it loads on the desktop (the video i mean) kinda like in a webpage like active desktop used to?

Thanks in advance even though I know this is now more of an HTML question.

if you are talking about the multimedia tour opening when the system starts up. drag n' drop a shortcut of tour.exe from C:\Windows\Help\Tours\mmTour to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
